Is it possible to study in Germany on a work visa?
Yes, you can study at a university in Germany while holding a work visa. However, most full-time university programs are quite demanding, making it tough to combine them with a full-time job. Based on community experience, if you're looking to balance work and study, part-time or distance learning programs (often called berufsbegleitend in German, meaning 'work-accompanying') might be a better fit.
